This should be a very interesting battle in the NFC East which is football’s best division this season.  Can the Redskins put together two big road efforts in a row after downing the Cowboys last week?  We will see tomorrow.  But, Philly is a tough place to play as the Eagles are 2-0 at home outscoring their opponents by a combined score of 53-9!  The Redskins want to run the football it will be fun to watch Clinton Portis (369 yards rushing, 4.3 ypc) take on the Eagles’ defense that is only allowing 53.8 yards rushing per game and 2.6 ypc this season.  If Jason Campbell gets time to throw the ball (the Eagles have 17 sacks this season) then Santana Moss and Antwaan Randle El might have some success despite the Eagles having a fine set of corners.  TE Chris Cooley also will likely play a big role on short stuff over the middle of the field.

The Eagles will likely attack the Redskins through the air as DeSean Jackson, Hank Baskett and Greg Lewis are all off to good starts this season.  The Eagles also have Reggie Brown back which gives the Eagles another good weapon to throw the ball to.  Donovan McNabb already has 1,100 yards passing this season and he will be taking aim at the Redskins’ D which is allowing 223.0 yards passing per game this year.  The Eagles hope to have Brian Westbrook back this week but they won’t be hurting if they have to start the capable Correll Buckhalter tomorrow.

PREDICTION:  PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 24, WASHINGTON REDSKINS 17
